RWS centerfire rifle cartridges in calibre 5,6x57

This cartridge was developed by RWS in 1964 as roe deer, chamois and fox hunting cartridge for extreme distances of up to 250 m. Due to a RZR (GEE) of 192 m, the 5.6x57 can also be used for very long distances. Its wind-sensitivity is distinctly lower than with other 5.6 mm calibres with lower bullet weights. With the heavier 4.8 g cone-point bullet, the necessary precision for hunting is being achieved. The RWS cone-point bullet guarantees very high effectiveness with good preservation of the game's meat.
